Taylor Locke has been an influential part of the LA music scene since 1999. First as co-founder and lead guitarist of the band Rooney, and then in Taylor Locke and The Roughs, and now he embarks his career as a solo artist on the verge of releasing his first album entitled “Time Stands Still.” Which is an intimate effort full of poignant lyricism, and expressive guitar work. The title of the album was inspired by a folder of lyrics given to Taylor by the infamous Kim Fowley.
